Reflecting on his time under EA, Zeschuk hinted at potentially difficult relationship, saying "I think one of the reasons that we survived and succeeded within EA was that our company was mature enough and there was enough good people throughout to handle the EA bear hug - something that is well meaning but vigorous."

"We needed to be strong to survive that and I think we did and you evolve from that as well."

Zeschuk’s well-mannered words may suggest the co-founder’s real reason for leaving Bioware. Or maybe he really did just want to spend more time with his beer.
